In a big house, it was burning hot.

Several people gathered together, drinking tea and chatting.

It is a wonderful experience to hear Princess Ruyue playing the piano.

"I've never had such a warm winter. What's the idea behind this?"

Even Princess Ruyue found it incredible.

The method of heating the kang is simply amazing.

In the past, we used to burn charcoal to warm the basin during the winter, but the effect was nothing compared to this.

It was like summer in the hot charcoal room.

Wearing a thin skirt will do.

The freezing cold wind outside couldn't get in at all.

Suddenly the door outside opened and Lei Zhan and Zhao Wudi walked in.

Close the door quickly.

First, take off all the snow on your body.

"It's so warm in here, but it's freezing outside!"

Ye called out, "Come over and have a cup of hot tea! How's the training going?"

There was excitement in Zhao Wudi's eyes.

"As Your Highness said, it really works. Wearing a thick sweater and fur coat, the wind can't get through, so it's not too cold.

They dug and moved forward at the same time, and could travel ten miles a day.

Once we become proficient, we can probably speed it up even more!"

"The snow is piled up to the waist, and even a warhorse can't run.

As long as we can catch up, the enemy will have no way to escape.

Train every day to adapt to winter fighting methods as quickly as possible.

Next winter, it will be time to destroy the enemy."

A cold light flashed in Ye's eyes, and he was filled with murderous intent.

"They never dreamed we would attack in winter.

If I hadn't been equipped with enough weapons, I would have wanted to attack them this year." Lei Zhan's face was full of excitement and eager to try.

"Don't worry, as the saying goes, time is of the essence! I suspect the enemy will be impatient by the spring of next year and will surely attack.

We can train our troops while defending, but only by actually participating in a war can we train an iron-blooded army."

While we were chatting, the door opened again.

Thunder Eagle walked in.

Tired and gasping for breath.

"The snow was so heavy that it almost crushed the greenhouse.

It took us a lot of effort to clear all the snow.

The snow finally stopped.

I expect there will be more snow this winter, and we will have to fight some tough battles.”

Because in winter, there are fewer people looking for news.

No matter how strong your body is, you won’t be able to withstand being outside for a long time.

Even if humans can bear it, horses can't.

From then on, he led people to clear the snow from everywhere. As long as it snowed heavily, they had to keep clearing the snow.

Make sure that no snow accumulates on top of the house and in the entire yard.

Ye personally poured him a cup of tea: "You've worked hard, have a cup of tea to warm yourself up.

It is thanks to your hard work that we can ensure an adequate supply of vegetables."

“Your Highness is too polite. We can eat fresh vegetables in winter, and our lives are better than those of the rich people in the capital.

People say the north is a bitterly cold place, but with a kang it’s not cold at all.

The people who migrated here all felt that their lives were just like those in heaven." Lei Ying was filled with excitement when he spoke of this.

I never dared to dream of such a good life before.

In other words, it is too far away from the capital, and if the vegetables are sold there, the price will be sky-high.

Due to heavy snow, a section of the highway was closed.

Only when the weather clears up will people be sent out to clean up.

He would not let the people take risks just to make a little money.

Besides, the number of greenhouses built in the first year was not large, and they had to be provided to the barbarians every day.

It can only meet the needs of local people.

Perhaps by the next year, we can transport large quantities of vegetables to the capital.

And you can earn a considerable income.

The wealthy and powerful in the capital would go crazy for fresh vegetables in winter.

Although they also have greenhouses to grow some vegetables, those greenhouses have no sunlight.

The vegetables that grew were much worse.

"This is all thanks to everyone's hard work. This is much faster than I planned." Ye said with a smile.

"Everyone is doing this for themselves, so who wouldn't work hard?

We are all grateful to His Highness from the bottom of our hearts."

"By the way, I've decided to arrange another favor for you! I've been thinking about it for a long time!" Yuye didn't waste time on this topic. He changed the subject and talked about the main thing.

Everyone immediately sat up straight and listened carefully.

"Just tell me if you have any mission!"

"So many people have moved here this year that the population has reached nearly three million.

Fortunately, there were these people cultivating the fields, and the crops were finally planted in time.

A good harvest can be obtained next year.

But the cultivated area of ​​the fields is too large, and it is not easy to protect them.

Even if there are 700,000 or 800,000 troops, once they are dispersed, they are still no match for the enemy.

Therefore, I plan to train all the women after the spring.

Don't expect them to charge into battle, but they should also learn how to use crossbows.

You can assemble a team at any time and obey orders.

Not only do you need to be able to use light crossbows, but you also need to learn how to use heavy and medium crossbows.

If the enemy dares to attack, we can mobilize all our people to fight.

We must prevent the enemy from breaking through the defense line, as the women in the rear would have no power to fight back.

I had originally planned to start training in winter.

But so many people don't have enough cotton clothes, so they can only wait until the weather gets warmer before training again," said Ye.

Everyone was very interested after hearing this.

"That's a good idea! Although women can't go to the front lines, our crossbows don't require much training to master.

Medium and heavy crossbows can kill enemies as long as they are strung and aimed.

With so many people participating, our firepower can be almost doubled.

The crossbow alone can wipe out all the invading enemies."

Zhao Wudi was extremely excited.

After these days of training, the crossbow and arrow formation is simply invincible.

In the past, we were worried that the enemy would use huge shields to block the attack, making the crossbows ineffective.

However, since the creation of large chariot crossbows and heavy crossbows.

It takes more than ten people to use the winch to pull the bowstring, which requires tremendous force.

Even heavy shields can be easily penetrated.

When dealing with enemy cavalry, you can even shoot through several people in a row.

A whole row of heavy crossbows fired simultaneously, just like sickles harvesting straw.

It is really hard to imagine what kind of enemy can withstand it.

Especially on the flat grassland, there is no obstruction.

It can make the enemy cavalry completely useless.

If the army is fighting outside, the enemy may attack from behind.

Women can also use these crossbows and can easily repel the enemy.

If commanded properly, there is a great chance of annihilating all the enemies.

"That's right! Women are not very good at fighting on the front line, but they can kill the enemy by operating a crossbow." Lei Zhan also agreed with both hands.

"I agree too! Only training for two or three hours a day won't interfere with work much." Lei Ying said.
